Analysis of bond strength between a nylon reinforcement structure and dental resins.

Background: Nylon is a polymer that its use to reinforce dental resins has shown positive results such as increased flexural strength. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength between dental resins and a nylon reinforcement.

Material And Methods: Forty cylindrical nylon blocks with 13 x 23 mm with 0.

Silica-Nylon Reinforcement Effect on the Fracture Load and Stress Distribution of a Resin-Bonded Partial Dental Prosthesis.

This study investigated the influence of silica-nylon reinforcement on the stress distribution and fracture load of a resin-bonded fixed partial dental prosthesis (RBFDP). Three-unit RBFDPs (N = 60) were inserted between the first premolar and the first molar of a maxillary model. The groups were divided according to the nylon reinforcement (n = 20/group): conventional fixed prosthesis (without reinforcement), prosthesis with silica-nylon reinforcement positioned vertically, and prosthesis with silica-nylon reinforcement positioned horizontally.
